Tom’s Pizza and Steak House

One of my favorite restaurants to visit when in Paris. Definitely not a 5 star restaurant… this is an old-​school, sneeze-​guard-​covered salad bar, family style restaurant. I used to hit this place up with co-​workers when we had days off. As others have noted, the spicy sirloin is the way to go! I’ve never had the pizza, but friends tell me it’s good.

7÷3÷12: food is okay. I didn’t have high expectations. Salad bar was great with fresh mushrooms and black olives mixed together as an item on the bar. My dad enjoyed his 10 oz ribeye for $ 12.99. My mom loved breaded mushrooms but thought fish was over-​seasoned. I got spaghetti to share with toddler — bread was delicious, sauce tasted good yet was a little skimpy. on how much sauce was given. I should have read the other review and ordered butterfly pork chop :) oh, yeah — it’s a Coke place so that’s a bummer for me

Tom’s is pretty much the only «good» steak place in paris… The spicy sirloin is always good and the cooks know how to cook them… But as for as much else. The place is a bit outdated. The salad bar is very small and has mostly cold pasta salads on it. The wait staff always seems they are so busy even when the place is almost dead and you see most of them standing around talking. And, forget about getting a beer with your steak cause they don’t serve it.

Small salad bar… but always kept full. The spicy sirloin is always good here.

First of all the service at the restaurant was pretty good. Very friendly and attentive. They got that very right. The food… well they could work on that.
Salad bar: Most of the items looked a bit dried out and old. The tomatos were pretty faded looking. The radishes were dried and tasteless. The beets were stale tasting. The lettuce, had seen better days… That pretty much sums that up.
Food: I had the ribeye steak and baked potato. The potato was correctly cooked and hot. The steak, well that was a different story. I ordered mine medium rare, and it came out pretty close to well done. And it was room temp. Not hot, not even warm. It was a thin piece of meat, had a lot of sinew and gritle. The flavor was ok, not the best steak I’ve had however.
Drink: I had the sweet tea. It wasn’t very sweet, but not bad as sweet tea goes I guess.
Overall, I wasn’t very impressed with the food. The price wasn’t horrible, but the quality could have been better.

For Paris, I’d say this is one of the better all around restaurants. Tom’s has a wide variety of food. I went with the small «meat-​lovers» pizza. For a small, this pizza was huge! It was a thin crust pizza, and it was actually pretty good. It’s not a NYC or Chicago pizza, but in the hunger for pizza, it hit the spot. Standard salad bar here, but no frills on it. My wife had a steak, with B. Potato, and salad. Nothing to write home about, but she did eat it. (ordered med-​rare, came out right.) The staff did a fine job and kept up with a party of 20.

The best review of this place I can give it is the fact that the church crowd comes here on Sunday after service.
The food was decent, and the prices seemed okay. Our poor waitress seemed a bit frazzled, but she brought us everything we asked for.
By noon the salad bar had a rather large line, so beware of Sunday’s after church, unless you are the one coming from church to here. In which case, enjoy.
The Dessert bar also had some nice selections, but the brownies seemed unusually dry.
Overall though I’d come back here if I was in Paris.

Great thin crust pizza. Small but good salad bar; worth it for the homemade desserts. Well priced lunch specials.
